First notebook entry: Introducing myself

I am learning English and Thai in Thailand. A month ago, I come to Thailand and started my study abroad. At the begining, I felt so fortunate (what are you trying to say here?) that I can go abroad for studying and traveling. It is quite a different experience compared to my past life. I grew up in a small vilage in China. I knew little about the outside world. It is said that learning English well will allow you to go around the world. So I chose English as my profession. Because of my accent, I can't express myself in oral English. Also, with the Thai language, I need to improve my pronouciation immediately.
